Is it wrong to write in passive voice?

Lisa's Answer:

I agree with the statement below regarding passive voice.  Passive is often used in official writing, like that of the government or business.  It is primarily used when the speaker/writer wants to empasize the result of an action, rather than who or what is doing it.  For example, in old adage, "Children should be seen and not heard," it is the result of the action that is important, not who will or will not see or hear the children.  It is important, though to know how to effectively use the passive voice in more advanced writing, like essays or research papers.
